Is it possible that a doctor would want to do a partial replacement on one hip and a total replacement on the other?
|
|
The type of replacement a doctor chooses to do depends on the damage, the patient's health and condition, and the state of the femur, or thigh bone. It is possible that a doctor would prefer to do a partial replacement on both hips but one is not a good candidate for it - that could be one reason. This is the type of question that a patient should ask the surgeon beforehand.
